Brief Summary

The present study is undertaken to overcome and compare the limitations of the

conventional ksharasutras with sadyaksharasutra, like difficulty in the preparation and

preservation of ksharasutra, prolonged cutting time and long standing severe pain

following ksharasutra application. As surgery is considered essential in many cases of

fistula-in-ano, but due to increased chances of recurrence, ksharasutra becomes their

last resort. The main objective of the present study is to attain a fast cutting time with

minimal complications and to shorten the whole treatment duration. Kshara is prepared

from Apamarga (Achyranthes aspera) . As Apamarga kshara  is used for making

sadyaksharasutra, it is beneficial in two ways, one by not developing any skin irritation

/ allergic reactions and the other by improving cutting along with healing.
